The New York Times begins to lay the groundwork for Franken to stay....

I’m Not Convinced Franken Should Quit

I also believe in zero tolerance. And yet, a lot of women I know — myself included — were left with a sense that something went wrong last week with the effective ouster of Al Franken from the United States Senate. He resigned after a groundswell of his own Democratic colleagues called for him to step down.

Zero tolerance should go hand in hand with two other things: due process and proportionality. As citizens, we need a way to make sense of accusations that does not depend only on what we read or see in the news or on social media.

Due process means a fair, full investigation, with a chance for the accused to respond. And proportionality means that while all forms of inappropriate sexual behavior should be addressed, the response should be based on the nature of the transgressions.

What went wrong? They were hoisted on their own petard.

Do you guys think goose is going to acknowledge this insane shit he’s posting when Franken does resign or just ignore it and pretend like it never happened while posting about some other insane shit?

Do you denounce Roy Moore? If so, do you think he should withdraw from the race (even with the election being tomorrow)?

Hell yes....fuck Roy Moore....it was so odd 40 years ago in Alabama for a 30 year old to date a 17 year old. I really think once he withdraws from the Senate we should shoot him. Let's see if his Jewish attorney can save him.

Actually I think Moore is a huge fucking flake. HE should never have been nominated. And that opinion has very little to do with the dating teenagers thing. Moore is the Alabama version of Trump, people voted for him just to put a thumb in the eye of people like you.

Eventually this too shall pass.

People like me? Is this where I am supposed to apologize for my accomplishments?

I find it interesting that you cannot bring yourself to denounce Moore on the basis of his comments or even the allegations he faces, but instead denounce him only on the basis of being an imposter populist. If you cannot do it here, I doubt you can do it anywhere.

"This too shall pass" comes from a place of convenience. It is a lazy comment lacking empathy. I am not sure a person of color, a women, or a member of the LGBTQ community in Alabama is comforted by "this too shall pass." However, I am glad it gives you a sense of calm.

They're not going to allow Al Franken to go down in flames.

He still hasn't announced a date. That said with Moore losing and the Guv appointing a woman to replace him I'd say he's pretty boxed in now. Keep in mind that my prediction was only operative if Moore won, my guess is that Franken was the 2nd saddest man last night after the results. Well, maybe 3rd after Moore and Bannon.

I did find it amusing that the Guv named his replacement before he actually, legally resigned. It's almost as if he didn't like the loud mouthed lout and was trying to hustle him along and out the door.

Seriously,

While we're pressure these assholes to resign, the Right are trying to get a child molester elected. One thing the Trump Presidency will forever do for America is, once and for all, is take the phony title of " The party of Family Values" away from the Republican hypocrites. A very large portion of that party are, for the most part, just slime balls.

that's the best thing the sexual predator and the deplorables have done for America.. while a lot of us have known it all along, they have spoken loud and clear.. and with pride.. what the 'party of family values' and 'values voters' is all about.. misogyny, racism, bigotry and sexism..

So.. yes, while our country suffers, at least they've lifted the veil off of their sick, twisted agenda.

Every time you thonk the resident zealot has reached rock bottom he goes down a few more floors.

Moore was a Right to Life Republican and that is a waiver on everything else.
Lots of Roman Catholic priests are Right to Life from the pulpit while they were buggering alter boys but they ar Pro-Life.

What Al Franken did was wrong and he's going to resign. He will not resign until his replacement is sworn in.

If you think Trump isn't ready to play games with swearing in Franken's replacement, I'd like you to go drinking in Mio with some locals who own a few head of hogs.

Agreed.
No one can deny how both sides are vile in their morals. But no one can claim the right is the “party of morals” they have lost that completely with fighting for Moore and electing Trump.

Franken was wrong and will pay the price of resigning . But he’s not going to leave MN one senator short while his replacement sits on the sideline waiting to be sworn in.

by Guest 2017-12-15, 18:16

His replacement has been named.

Still no date to resign, now saying early January.

The Moore excuse didn't happen for him, he must be busy searching for the next one.

I'll believe it when it actually happens. He has no excuse not to be already gone.

What am I swerving from? Franken needs to go. He said he's going to go. His replacement is lined up. Meanwhile, Donnie has promised to release his taxes almost since his first days on the campaign trail. You don't seem bothered by Lying Donnie, though.
